In addition, only users who have the appropriate permissions can:

Import and export customers

Create calendar entries

Access the appointment contact log

Create/update service categories.

Transactions

You can now see any discounts that have been applied to refunded items in a client's refunded transaction history.

You can now change themes for individual users.

Employee setup

We have improved the role sidebar on the Employee Setup screen so that it now displays roles for only the currently selected employee.

Customer setup

When you view the active clients list, you will now see only active clients.

When you search for clients with the “Active” checkbox selected, you will only see active clients in the search results.

Product setup

When you are setting up items and suppliers on the product setup screen, you will only need to enter an 'effective from' date if a future price is required.

Appointment book

When you are making appointments, you can only see active employees who have been assigned a column in the appointment book.
